5. For Food Competitions: Fillings, frostings, glazes, and meringues are not permitted to contain cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, or whipped cream if they are not fully cooked/baked. These items are allowed as ingredients in food products IF the final product is cooked/baked.  Additionally, raw milk, raw milk products or uncooked eggs/egg whites are not permitted.  Eggs/egg whites that have been cooked to 160°F (i.e., pasteurized or included as part of a batter and baked) are acceptable.  No home-canned fruits, vegetables, or meats are permitted as ingredients in food products. 
6. Foods should be transported to the competition in a way that minimizes contamination and maintains the quality of the food (i.e., foods that are judged as frozen should remain frozen at all times).
7. Contestants should carefully wash their hands and make sure that their hands do not have any open cuts before preparing foods. If cuts are present, the wound should be bandaged and a single use food service glove worn on the hand during all stages of food production.

8. Judges and individuals who will consume products from county and/or state competitions should be informed that they are at risk for food borne illness since the established policy cannot guarantee that an entry has been properly prepared or handled before, during or following the competition.

4. Paraffin is not accepted on jams, jellies, fruit butters, preserves and marmalades.
